Guest Post: The DHS Defends Globalism, Not America

The Department Of Homeland Security is the very epitome of unnecessary bureaucracy. Its formation was predicated on the existence of terrorist threats, many of which the U.S. government and orbiting alphabet agencies either created through acts of war, or fabricated out of thin air. Its policies of centralization were sold to the public as necessary to prevent systemic “miscommunications” that never actually took place. Throughout our history, it has been a rare occasion indeed when an attack falls upon American infrastructure or interests that was not influenced, directly or indirectly, by the actions of agencies which were supposedly employed to prevent such events from ever occurring. Whether through ‘blowback’, or through ‘false flag’, frankly, most of the harm that comes to our nation is perpetrated by the guiding hand of our inexorably corrupt government.

Knowing that the DHS was established on false pretenses forces us to question the agency’s true intentions, especially when a professional fear-monger like Secretary Janet Napolitano announces that the globalization of the world economy falls within her jurisdiction:

Average citizens would assume that the DHS is a U.S.-centric institution, and regardless of its Orwellian behavior, is at the very least a distinctly American brand of tyranny. However, under encroaching strategies enforced since 2006 through the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), it is becoming very apparent that the Department Of Homeland Security is quickly taking on an “all-of-nation” role, most prominently in the defense of globalization:http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf

In her most recent op-ed / propaganda piece published by Reuters, Napolitano makes it clear that the business of the DHS is lately focused on what she calls “global supply chain security”. This by itself could be seen as a perfectly logical extension of the DHS mandate to protect America. Unfortunately, the situation is not that simple. A few talking points and guidelines within the NIPP platform are rather disturbing, and create an open door for the internationalization of the DHS.

Ironically, Napolitano sets the stage first by pointing out the brittle nature of globalization, along with its numerous vulnerabilities:

“A vulnerability or gap in any part of the world has the ability to affect the flow of goods and people thousands of miles away. For instance, just three days after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear tragedies struck Japan last March, U.S. automakers began cutting shifts and idling some plants at home. In the days that followed, they did the same at their factories in more than 10 countries around the world…”

As I have pointed out many times in the past, the utter lack of redundancy within our globalized system makes it the most impractical and downright destructive economic model in history. Janet Napolitano seems to agree at least in part on this point. The problem is that the weaknesses of globalization are not a mistake; they are a deliberate and useful tool for further centralization of once sovereign economies. Instead of addressing the obvious concern that globalization does not work, Napolitano, like every other globalist in our government, claims that it must be propped up at all costs for the “greater good”:“Because protecting the global supply chain is inherently an international challenge, it will take an international effort to meet it. The tremendous benefits we all reap from an interdependent global economy means that we are all stakeholders in the security of that system…”

“…we will continue to think globally, enhancing our coordination with the international community and international stakeholders who have key supply chain roles and responsibilities. We will seek to develop and implement global standards, strengthen detection, interdiction, and information-sharing capabilities, and promote end-to-end supply chain security efforts with the international community.”

What “benefits” are we “reaping” from globalization? I haven’t the foggiest idea. The internationalization of banking and finance has led to the creation and subsequent implosion of the world’s largest debt bubble and further devaluation of many of the world's currencies. Centralized and corporatized food production has led to a complete lack of self reliance within our society, contributed to food scarcity, not abundance, and opened our means of sustenance to the mad-science and genetic criminality of monstrous entities like Monsanto. The globalization of law through treaty has supplanted the U.S. Constitution, fed the growth of unaccountable and unelected councils and committees, and stricken our country with policy initiatives that weren’t even written by officials that live here. There are absolutely no substantial benefits to globalization that outweigh its considerable detriments, unless, of course, you are one of the elite few who stand at the helm of the machine.

Within this plan, the DHS seeks to unite with international corporate interests in an effort to ensure the dominance of the globalist ideal of centralized economy. The collectivist rhetoric inherent within the document above is apparent. Napolitano summarizes it well when she states:“As globalization brings nations closer together, we need to jointly disprove and leave behind the notion that security and efficiency cannot coexist, and together build a security architecture that better uses information to assess risk. By taking a coordinated, strategic and thoughtful approach, we can expedite legitimate commerce while focusing our attention on that much smaller portion that poses harm. Security and confidence in the global supply chain enhance our collective economic strength, rather than impeding progress.”

Napolitano treats globalism as an inevitability; a future without recourse and without option. A smart person might ask; “What business is it of Janet Napolitano to comment on the global economic model, let alone utilize DHS resources in its defense!” But look at it this way; by using the failings of globalization and the spectral boogie-man of terrorism as a rationale, the DHS has created a grey area in which the U.S. government can be more fully integrated into the global corporate dynamic, which furthers the disintegration of American sovereignty.

The global supply chain encompasses everything! It is a vast artificial international construct. For the DHS to truly “defend” its integrity, it will be REQUIRED to sacrifice the specific and sovereign interests of the U.S. In a globalized trade system, every economy is important, as long as it does not compete with any other economy. The U.S. economy is no exception. Harmonization diminishes the wealth of more successful nations and transfers it to less successful nations. This transfer of wealth does, in a sense, create equality; it makes everyone equally poor. By becoming the militant hand of globalization, the DHS is put in the position of hurting America in order to “save” America.

The National Strategy For Global Supply Chain Security document is extraordinarily vague when it comes to the manner in which the DHS will implement defense directives. More DHS agents at shipping ports? Of course. More DHS involvement in airline cargo centers? Certainly. But what about DHS agents overseeing trucking and freight, or even stationed at highway checkpoints (remember, the TSA is an agency under the direct authority of the DHS)? What about DHS agents acting as permanent corporate liaisons? Will corporations decide who is a threat to the global supply chain and who isn’t? What about the usage of copyrighted materials on the internet? Is this a disruption of global trade? How does the DHS actually plan to return a disrupted supply line to normal efficiency? The DHS has no production capacity, and would have to TAKE (possibly by force) a supply from somewhere in order to reinstitute it elsewhere. What about communities, states, or countries which refuse to participate in globalization? What about those who choose to decentralize? Could this not be labeled as an attempt to derail the global system, and thus be interpreted as an act of terrorism?

Under any collectivist society, the act of non-participation is always painted as an attack on the group. In a fully interdependent system, refusing to contribute automatically hurts others, and therefore, makes you a criminal by default. These systems are built this way deliberately, in order to control a population by exploiting their sense of innate guilt. The DHS may claim a limited involvement in globalization, restricted to security issues, but the very process of integration with the international corporate framework as well as foreign institutions makes the agency a catalyst for forced collectivism. Bombs in shipping containers (the bombs we’re supposed to believe are everywhere), do not warrant the massive shift of our security apparatus into a policy of global centralization. In the end, this move on the part of the DHS has nothing to do with security, and everything to do with manipulating the attitude of the general public towards globalization. It is much more difficult to challenge a methodology when that methodology is suddenly treated as a national security issue, and is defended by an army of bureaucrats and blue-shirted thugs. When a world view is made violently essential to the very survival of a people, defiance is held tantamount to treason, and change, no matter how wise, becomes impossible.

What is your point? That the Bushitler was a bad Hitler too? I'm not disputing that--hence the pejoritive coined name, Bush + Hitler. But Bush never deliberately targeted any 16-year-old boys for assassination, American or Iraqi. The Obamahitler is a vicious worthless killer, a conscienceless corporate stooge who will murder children to look "tough" to moron voters so he can hang on to power.

Obama smells. His supporters smell. Bush being guilty does not, as a matter of logic, make Obama innocent. Ron Paul is the only decent man running for President.

Heh... the left certainly has mastered the "gender formula", haven't they? The can crank them out a will, or so it seems. Or, is th is one of those "chicken and egg" problems? Maybe the ugly ones like the left because they fit in better?

Yes. The Kunkles Penis Width Measurement System. It incorporates reference and is thus applicapble to all topics and situations similar to but larger than the Dewey's Decimal, is of Universal Application similar to Planck's Constant and can be used anywhere any time, is truly three dimensional in application and is highly flexible, expanding and contracting, widening and narrowing in respomse to external stimuli and is a pleasure to use.

All very nice, but does the KPWMS take ambient temperature into account? I've had hookers and tramped-stamp Party Girls tell me, "Holy crap!!" on seeing Vato's joy wand in its full glory, (At no extra charge, so I think they might have meant it), but get me cold or dunk me in ice water and/or scared shitless, and the magnificent, can't-possibly-belong-to-a-white-guy package tries to telescope back into my body, seeking warmth & protection.This makes for a radically skewed measurement, and sometimes them hateful bitches point & laugh.

“…we will continue to think globally, enhancing our coordination with the international community and international stakeholders who have key supply chain roles and responsibilities. We will seek to develop and implement global standards, strengthen detection, interdiction, and information-sharing capabilities, and promote end-to-end supply chain security efforts with the international community.”

But where was she and the whole department when China started buying up and shipping all of our rare earth plants to China? Where was she when the Chinese started to embargo rare earths? She's a shit.

We define a group OUTSIDE the bounds set by the Constitution so we can limit the rights of those who are under the umbrella of the Constitution.

Ex: The 14th Amendment states that no PERSON shall be denied equal protection under the law. We have now defined a "Person" to necessarily be a member of some group, defined or otherwise. Then, some Group must have rights above and beyond the strictures of the 14th. *Poof*. No more 14th Amendment. Now, there are "Terrorists" who are outside the law. What do we do? Of Course! Restrict the rights of the citizens who are under the Constitution!

Actually she's been groomed for a long time by the Arizona Democrat party elite for a position in DC. From Lewis & Roca (attorney for Anita Hill) to US Attorney & AZ Attorney General (special project: protect the children) to governor. And now DHS.

I have it on good authority (yep - you guessed it: Hillary!) that "Butch" Napolitano was a pole-dancer at a Jiffy-Lube (Flagstaff AZ/I-40/Exit 69, left at 2nd lights & 1/2mile down on right) before being elevated to head the Dept of DHS (Dikes, Hags 'n Slags)

Looks a lot like a nun I once had as a teacher - loved to smack little hands with her ruler. I just thought she was mean. If I had only known at the time that what was really happening was that she was getting all wet while doing it. Just like that nun, this is one perverted sister.

There is nothing in the Constitution that justifies the existence of the DHS, the globalist's jackboot enforcer, for the profit of the central bank cartel and its crypto-communist and corporatist agenda: the New Feudalism; rule by the elite, for the elite and by the elite.

All totally un-American, and a legalistic coup d'etat by the Federal Reserve Board, and its British/European old banking class, and Monarchist delusions.

Socialists or Globalists like Janet are all over this administration. Top to bottom what they have in common is the dislike for the American capitalist system. A simple reminder ... Obama's own words were about his hope for being a transformational president. Really, those were not just words because it's at his core.

I ask what was wrong? Oh, I get George Bush and his war was wrong but that is not what the socialists in charge are changing. IMO the goal is to send or use America's middle class wealth and spread to the rest of the world. Your middle class lifestyle and freedoms are being sent overseas day after day. Your freedom must be taken as well because no one would willingly give their wealth away in this manner without a fight.

By the way this didn't just start with Obama, or the housing crash. This has been creeping along for years. Now they can go at a much faster pace with Obama as president. Socialist are all over the US government in various offices and agencies. Don't believe me? Find out for yourself.

The powerful elite love them some facism. They have been much more successful with the current gradual approach.

The "Business Plot" (also the Plot Against FDR and the White House Putsch) was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 wherein wealthy businessmen and corporations plotted a coup détat to overthrow United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, the Business Plot was publicly revealed by retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler testifying to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee.

Yes, corporations loved the NRA (no, not the gun-clinging nutters, the fascist brundlefly of corporate masters and FDR's apparatchiks) and then he went and stabbed them in the back when their collusion didn't accomplish much beyond enriching the already rich and making the depression worse.

She is a dangerous control freak, enacting the ways of Neopolitan ancestors whose jackboot stamped on Europe, with the connivance of the Vatican, all governments, and their apparatchiks =the educated bureaucrats who thought they would be rewarded for enforcing the will of the overlord Monarchists or Statists.

The Statists who rallied under the flag of socialism...then Nazis...the communists...now globalists.

Different names. Same motive, methods and aims: a self-selecting group of central banks employ the 'intelligentsia' to rationalise their psychopathy and greed, and employ bureaucrats, like this Neopolitan thug, and In-justice Greenberg.

I' rather be in Greece. America's debt situation is "later not better" than Greece. At least in Greece the government is too incompetent, and the people too restless to effectively enforce any measure against you, unless you are on the government payroll. The US has a very effective suppression/oppression mechanism in place and a naive populace that takes CNN and Fox News Seriously. The Greeks should count themselves as lucky, when the mess comes over here for real, just talking about it will get you indefinately detained. At least over there, total anarchy is a socially acceptable way of doing things. The US is in much deeper shit down the line, with an effective police state on top of everything else.

How do you build a security system to protect a form of "globalism" which benefits the 1% at the expense of the 99%?

How do you build a security system that protects arbitrary laws which repudiate the fundaments of the nation state's constitution? The international bill of human rights itself! The basis of the UN charter, the mother of all global policy forums.

Instead of building a global forum which incorporates the best elements of each nation state, we incorporate the worst elements of arbitrary political power play. Its the race to bottom. The globalist construct as we see it in practice is made of the Oligarch, for the oligarch, by the Oligarch. Our financial construct is its best example today. Globalism personified.

Guantanamolese in global world. The People are its enemies not its friends.

The world is way too big a place for any one or any group to control. From a historical perspective, the US and the West are making the same mistakes all empires made. The only difference could be that old empires had illusions of grandure and world domination during their peak, not their decline.

History teaches only one thing: It teaches nobody, nothing. That's why it repeats itself.

Globalists hate nations. Self-determination is a good thing, promoted by President Wilson after WWI. Every country has the inalienable right to decide its own fate in its own way.

The globalist central bank cartel of old Europe and Britain created WWI and WWII, by their aggressive Monarchist vs Socialist fight; two brat classes of elites, fighting each other for supremacy, and burning the world because of it. Same is true of Japan and its horrific Unit 731, the worst example of war crimes. Same is true of Mao and Pol Pot. Stalin and Russia. Mussolini and Italy. Hitler and Germany.

All the brat class fighting for supremacy among their 'friends', and sending the majority to die in wars that they themselves were safe from - perched on high in their government roles, and bureaucracy, and the central bank cartel who funded them, all for its own profit.

The Federal Reserve Board founded in the U.S. 1913 brought all that age old British/European feudalist hatred to the U.S.

It is time for the U.S. Republic to rise again against the globalists, the feudalists; the sick money master monarchist/socialist/communist/collectivist liars of the old world order.

The U.S. Constiution and Declaration of Independence. This is the only protection for ordinary people of any colour, creed or religion who are fortunate to live in the U.S. or other English speaking nations who hold similar values.

This Neopolitan creature and 'Judge' Greenberg are traitors; typical bureaucrats serving alien ways; the ways of the crypto-communists, and globalists.

Russia : We will take DRASTIC measures if the west doesn't stop their BS with Syria

"The UN council is not a tool for intervention in internal affairs and is not the agency to decide which government is to be next in one country or another," Ryabkov said. "If our foreign partners don't understand that, we will have to use drastic measures to return them to real grounds."

The system of populus manipulation is what it is. They are there under the pretenses of security, but what you really have is manipulation embedded in something that seems "for everyone's benefit". It makes it hard to disagree with because to disagree sounds like you are almost anti-safety. You have to look under the surface and craft your skepticism more precisely. If they truly were just keeping us safe, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But molesting some old lady makes it obvious that there is something else going on there. They are harrassing the average people and, more than likely, completely missing the potential bad guys. You have to realize that this isn't just accidental or an example of really bad bureaucracy run amok. Although there is probably some element of that at work here.

In reality they have another agenda running on the inside and it is just one of a myriad of the same throughout society, coordinated by some people somewhere. The point be to create a constant level of anxiety hastle and (thereby) disstraction. If you can do that to a whole populus then you can easily pull the wool over their eyes, elsewhere. Just like the magician's, sleight of hand. It would be stupid if they just came out and blatantly did this type of thing. The experienced manipulator knows it's important to embed this stuff within seemingly well-meaning activities. Then it's much less likely anyone will ever smell it (although plenty of people probably do). There will still be layers of deniability for people to get through before they figure it out and then it will be complex to explain to others, get them to see the thing for what it is. They talk about globalization simply because it is just a flavor of the month management science type of idea/concept that you can glom onto the whole thing to make it look more important and create more misdirection opportunities.. I am a big Mamet fan.

put an "unattractive" female in charge of a HUGE govt. agency that is restricting "citizen rights" in the name of security.

half the thread is about what she SHOULD look like to make the lap chubs tingle, or how teh lesbos do it, phoah!!!! there are a few thoughtful replies to the OP, but the dissonance created by putting a "non-fuckable" female in charge of a HUGE overbearing agency - that's priceless.

they're fucking with your heads guys, and you're letting them get away with it.

Fantastic points, all of them CA. I agree with you completely. Focus on the policies, don't get caught up with who 'they' say is running the show. Who better to push the buttons of say, half the posters on this thread than Janet Napolitano? And Janet Reno? And in the Bush administration, it was Ashcroft and Gonzales, both of whom made the Left go nuts.

this is where the critical thinking goes *poof* at ZH, sadly. . . and the face of the gender police turns flashing red.

that only a certain image of "woman" is acceptable to certain men, and by acceptable, we understand "fuck-able," shows just how pervasive the conditioning is, and how much power the narrative has over individual's lives. . . anyone who takes the time to research how gender rules can and DO change in cultural conditioning as and when it serves those who control the storyline will see how manipulated the "public" is.

the story that "men" are superiour and "women" are their handmaidens, thus need to be groomed to their specifications - THIS begins so early, particularly in the young female's life, that people accept it as normal, when in fact, it's merely culturally encouraged and enforced, like all other beliefs. men, believing they benefit, police the culture - no homo! no dykes! no ugly! - exercising the tiny space of "power over" they believe they can control, when in fact, they are serving their masters, and everyone who buys into this fiction is just a co-opted tool.

"The discovery is, of course, that "man" and "woman" are fictions, caricatures, cultural constructs. As models they are reductive, totalitarian, inappropriate to human becoming. As roles they are static, demeaning to the female, dead-ended for male and female both...."
